Day Two with the Kids

Day Two and the final day until next month. Today they are off across province for a week to Sarnia where their mother was brought up and still has good friends.

Due to deteriorating knees, I am not going to cycle much this year. In fact, I didn't think I would at all, but I determined to do this one excursion with Sue and the kids, and it went pretty well.

We cycled along the Riverwalk Trail to the newer trail, specifically to the bridge which was part of the railway until the railway closed that line about 10 years ago.

Looking n the other direction, I asked Danica to take a photo of the little bridge from the trail bridge as a test shot, for it's a spot that I may wish to return to some early morning.

Then we cycled around to that bridge. Now the trail bridge is in the background.

From there we biked along the trail back toward home, but the kids stopped at one spot where they lingered for quite awhile. By now, Danica was in firm control of the camera, which you can see her wearing above.

Home for a pit stop and then a drive downtown for lunch where we ate shawarmas by the river behind townhall, the spire of which is beside my head, below.

Our lunchtime view.

We had been hoping to get gelatos for dessert, but the place is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Monday closings are typical in smaller towns, but closing an ice cream store on a Tuesday in summer boggles my poor little mind. So it was off the McDonalds for McFlurries and another through-the-window photo experiment, this time by JJ. It didn't work quite as well as the previous one, but it is still a neat little gimmicky shot.

Later, we headed out one more time for chips (fries) by the river.

Phew! A lot, I know but that's how the day went.
